ABSTRACT:
An automatic collimation surveying apparatus is provided with a collimation camera optical system (47) of a high magnification ratio; a wide-angle CCD camera optical system (89) having a wide field of view; a touch-panel display (64) for displaying an image picked up by both CCD camera optical systems; an image processing unit (60) for discriminating points of measurement from the above-described image; a touch-pen for pointing out points of measurement on the above-described image; and an automatic collimation unit (69) for automatically collimating the pointed-out points of measurement. In addition, illumination light from light source (80) is concurrently used as collimation light and is aligned so as to be emitted along the collimation axis (O) of a collimation camera optical system. The surveying apparatus can be remotely controlled from a measurement controller such as a peripheral personal computer. The surveying apparatus allows a number of point-of-measurement positions to be efficiently measured on a large-scaled structure by a single operator.
